Ciceronic Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 Today I updated my Pin2DMD from V3.07 to V4.10. Everything during update seems ok. Screen starts and looks normal. Then when testing some virtual tables, I just get a black screen ??? It starts with the table, and I can see some color changes before it turns black. Board is Discovery STM32F4. Is it related to some driver? I couldn't find any post about driver update. Or something else to check or do before downgrading back to 3.07?
Content Provider lucky1 Posted June 23, 2021 Content Provider Posted June 23, 2021 Which driver do you use ? Freezy or my dmddevice.dll ?
Ciceronic Posted June 23, 2021 Author Posted June 23, 2021 I really don't remember, but I'll test your driver. I found version 1.8.2 Thanks! Memory is occupied with to many things, and I was exited to test Twilight Zone coloring.

Ciceronic Posted July 9, 2021 Author Posted July 9, 2021 Hi again. I don't get this correct. Tested Freezy's driver as described above. Tested Lycky1 1.8.2 driver. Can't see any difference. None works. My PIN2DMD is always black when tables run. If I reset at the PCB it shows the logo, so it's working. The only DMD screen I managed to see is some window in the upper left corner of the playfield. Tried so many things now and no progress at all. Tables/DOF and all other stuff works perfect, it's only the DMD. Before upgrading firmware it has been working for many years. Something must have gone wrong during update. I have the V3 PCB "Discovery", would it help to replace it with a newer PCB?

Lucky1’s drivers are included in the integration/pinmame folder with the PIN2DMD firmware release. There is no Lucky 1.8.2 driver. You should be using the driver that matches the firmware you are running when using Lucky1’s drivers. The 1.8.2 versioning suggests you are simply using a newer version of freezy’s release, which hasn’t been updated for the PIN2DMD 4.xx firmware.

If you want to use 64 colors use my dmddevice.dll from github . If you want to use PUP look here
Ciceronic Posted July 10, 2021 Author Posted July 10, 2021 [SOLVED] Updating to 4.12 immediate cured everything. All tested tables works normal again. Puh. I just skip those 64-color updates for now. Thanks.
